MagLite - ST3D016 Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black

The light is great, but paying more for the black color with batteries when one of the batteries leaks is not worth it.

I wasnt sure if I would purchase as there are so many with much stronger lumens. (brightness) However, the purpose of the flashlight is to be handy during no power, so how can you beat 80 hour battery life and no charging required. The newer models have charging - doesnt make sense to me as you need this to work when there is no charging available. Anyhow, I use it to walk dogs at 6:00 a.m. It lights up our way plus I like the feeling that I have a weapon with me. Classic, dependable and just makes sense.

just what I expected

I always thought, you get what you pay for. Not in this case. These maglites are not cheap. Every time I go to use it I have to open it up and play with the contact points to make it turn on. And if you plan on buying one of these 3 or 4 cell ones you better go to Costco and also buy a 700 pack of D-cell batteries. The drain them like crazy. Ill never buy a Maglite again.

My husband is very happy with his christmas gift! It is like a spotlight, the last one we had was ruined due to batteries exploding, so it was actually a good thing we got to upgrade to the led. Update: the first time we actually used it to clean out the fireplace it got very dim. I am returning it and hoping the next one isnt damaged!

Big bulky and heavy but great light. More than enough lumens for my job.

The Flashlight has been perfected. Its really awesome !!!

I ordered one of these recently for when the riots begin in the streets of our once great country after the economy collapses and BHOs constituents rebel over austerity measure and not getting their food, welfare payments, energy, cell phones and the like subsidized by the 49% of the sane population. This flashlight now moves to the top of the lineup in my Apocalypse and Go emergency bag. You think Im joking? Not quite. If youre smart you will stock up on one of these great lights and a ton of D batteries to power it for when youre scared to death but reaching for your 9mm to quell those fears. Im prepared...are you?

Great brand, great flashlight.

love this light!
